Chapter 54: The Cemetery
There are still two days left before the duel between White Rain and Iron Knight. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
In the empty arena of the spectator seats, the battle has just come to an end. Yesterday, Bai Yu met Lu Ziwen on the way back to the dormitory, and this young man, who was dissatisfied with the way the school allocated places for the Imperial City Auction, found Bai Yu, and he challenged Bai Yu.
Yesterday, Lu Ziwen said: "If I win you, you will give up the quota for dueling with the Iron Horse, and you don't need to challenge the Iron Rider with all your might." ā
Lu Ziwen promised Bai Yu that as long as Bai Yu accepted his challenge, no matter whether he won or lost, he would try his best to meet Bai Yu's request.
Bai Yu agreed, he knew that if he couldn't even win against Lu Ziwen, then he really didn't have to challenge the iron horse.
In the last scene in the arena, Lu Ziwen fell from the sky. He suddenly lost the strength to float in the air and fell to the ground. The ice cage teeth blocked Lu Ziwen's movements, and Bai Yu stood with his sword in his hand and said, "You lost." ā
The black umbrella is slowly falling in mid-air, it has no handle, and the rotation of the umbrella stand and the umbrella surface is like a black flower blooming. Before Lu Ziwen fell, the black ripples of the umbrella in the air enveloped the entire arena.
Lu Ziwen admitted defeat, and he asked Bai Yu: "Was it the umbrella that deprived me of my ability just now?" ā
Bai Yu honestly admitted: "Falling dust--this is the name I gave to this ability--all the abilities that are high above will be knocked down from the dust, and the capable will be turned into a commoner." This umbrella can prohibit the release of abilities within a range for a short period of time, and all those with abilities cannot get rid of it, including me. You were forbidden to use the ability by 'Falling Dust' in the air, and you were caught off guard when you lost the ability to fly, and I used my ice cage teeth to catch you after I lifted 'Falling Dust'. ā
The implication is that Lu Ziwen still had a chance to fly in the time gap between the white rain lifting the dust and using the ice cage teeth, but he missed it.
Bai Yu said: "The lion still needs all his strength to fight the rabbit, and you have underestimated the enemy." ā
"Whether it's light or not, I'm losing, and the reason doesn't matter." The ice cage teeth were lifted, Lu Ziwen stood up, and he said: "This is your special move when you duel with the Iron Cavalry, so you ask that no one else be allowed to watch the duel with me." ā
Bai Yu nodded and said, "Surprise wins." ā
Lu Ziwen said: "It's not enough for you to ban his ability, I fought with him, and he has a trick ......"
"Shh Bai Yu made a gesture not to speak, not letting Lu Ziwen continue.
"He's a respectable opponent and I don't want to know his moves in advance." Bai Yu said.
Lu Ziwen smiled: "Don't say it." ā
Bai Yu said: "Didn't you say that you can meet one of my conditions no matter whether you win or lose? Can I speak now? ā
"I want to hear about it."
When I left the arena, the sun was about to set. Bai Yu bought a cup of milk tea at the commissary, and then walked slowly to the school's cemetery alone.
He was going to see Chen Xiaoxue.
Due to the digging of graves in the Knife River, many of the coffins under the tombstones are already empty. The corpses manipulated by the Summoned Spirit were destroyed by fire, and the families could not recognize which charred skeleton was their loved one, and most of them were reluctant to open the coffin to check if the body was present. They could only ignore the joint burial place in the cemetery, and continue to grave the tombstones engraved with the names of their relatives, deliberately forgetting what Daohe had done.
But there is a coffin under the tombstone that definitely has the body it deserves, and that is Chen Xiaoxue's safe place. She was snatched back from Knife River by the Iron Rider and sent back to where she was supposed to live.
Bai Yu put down a white paper flower in front of Chen Xiaoxue's tombstone, which he folded with his own hands. If it doesn't rain, the flower can exist for a long time.
You crossed the Nai Ho Bridge, how are you now?
Reincarnated, where did you go? No man's land, or outside no man's land.
Bai Yu said: "It's so cold here for me, are you cold there?" ā
Although night is coming, the whole cemetery is empty, and it is too weird. The sun had just set, the street lights had not yet been turned on, and the air had cooled dramatically. Bai Yu heard a subtle "click" sound, and the sound came from all directions. Bai Yu clenched the black umbrella, his heart full of vigilance.
He held up his umbrella, and a film of water fell straight from the sky, enveloping the white rain. The water film quickly froze, and the clicking sound continued to amplify in the ears, and someone tried to trap Bai Yu in the water film.
Bai Yu once used this move to fight against Lu Ziwen's feathers, and he once used the water film to catch Lu Ziwen's feathers.
Bai Yu knows: the most fragile moment of the water film, at the moment of freezing.
An ice spike against Bai Yu's body began to accelerate from the ground, piercing the film of water that was freezing. Bai Yu only summoned one ice spike, and as a result, the moment the water film broke, eight ice spikes that were not commanded by Bai Yu attacked him, and they formed an ice cage formation to surround Bai Yu.
Ice cage teeth are a skill that makes multiple ice spikes shrink in a ball shape, like sharp claws to control enemies or protect themselves, although Bai Yu's umbrella prevents the ice spikes from continuing to compress his movement space, but Bai Yu no longer has the ability to move freely.
He was caught by the Ice Cage Fangs.
Bai Yu thought: Someone used my moves against me.
He looked around through the gaps in the ice spikes, and the enemy did not appear for a long time, but the enemy attack continued. There is a huge ice wall in the four directions of the front and back of the white rain, and the ice wall of the four years moves towards the white rain at the same time, and this formation is to smash the white rain.
The ice wall overwhelmed one tombstone after another, and they moved forward unhindered. They were so huge that the edges of the two adjacent ice walls began to rubble. But they began to adjust their positions, staggering from each other and moving perpendicular to each other.
The square around the center is getting smaller and smaller, and the crushing is about to reach Bai Yu.
Can ice walls still be used like this? What an eye-opener. All around me was cordoned off, and the only place I could escape was the sky.
Bai Yu adjusted the position of his feet and stood firmly on the ground, and he let the growing icicles push him into the air along with the ice cage teeth. In this way, you can avoid the end of being crushed.
The ice wall was too cumbersome to limit my movements. So I blocked my space with four walls of ice at once, so that I could only escape upwards, regardless of whether there was an ambush above. Now if there's a trap up there, then I'm dead. Bai Yu thought.
"What I can think of, how can the enemy not think of it?" Bai Yu was helpless, he stood at the top of the icicle and saw the raindrops falling from the sky.
Raindrops fall to the ground, and the splashes caused by the rebound are frozen by the ability of the ice control. Raindrops fell on the ground, and the whole land was covered with ice flowers as far as the eye could see. The raindrops fall on the ice cage teeth, and the ice spikes merge into the raindrops, and the ice cage teeth shatter when the ice flowers bloom.
Raindrops fell on Bai Yu, freezing his joints, freezing his body, freezing his umbrella.
He lost his center of gravity and fell off an icicle. Before he hit the ground, he could still see the four walls of ice that he was about to reach.
If you die in the cemetery, you can still be buried on the spot. He thought.
I didn't expect someone to be able to use ice control ability to such a powerful realm. He thought.
Bai Yu fell to the ground, not as painful as he imagined. Icicles are erected several stories high, and it stands to reason that if you fall from this height, you will be seriously injured if you don't die.
He lay on the ground, and when he opened his eyes, there were no raindrops and walls of ice, and all the crushed and destroyed tombstones were still standing, and there was no sign of destruction at all.
Everything, gone? Or is it just my hallucination?
